Hey. I have a quick question. I have 2 of the same device. 2 old Samsung galaxy tab E's. On one the Google services was called Google play services with the correct icon and on the other it was called just Google services with the Android icon. Why is this happening they also had the same amount of precesses running. I'm just wondering why the different names. On the one that had just Google services Some times it would start another one called Google play services and then go away by itself. Sorry if this is a bit messy hehe. I'm going to hard reset them And see if it makes a difference.

Hello, community! I recently bought a Chinese tablet and one of the first things I did was to install Google Play and Google Play Services via apk, I also added my Google account. The problem is that after loading for a while it says: 'The application Google Play Store has closed unexpectedly'. The amazing thing is that it pops up a notification that there are updates for my apps! Also the tablet shows up in my Google account as a device. The other applications that require Google Play services (like youtube and google now) run fine. My firmware version is 4.1.1. Also the download manager IS enabled. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

This means that you have purchased a chinese style software configuration tablet. Thanks to encouragement by ccp policies towards google, many manufacturers (would you believe i have in my hands a samsung note 8 that does the same thing!) have stripped out the play store in favor of other alternatives. For me, i am going to root and flash this tablet and forget default aoftware is even something that exists.....
Both my fiance and i have n5s but I noticed on her battery chart her says Google services while mine says Google play services. Both have different icons. I checked both our version numbers are the same for Google play services.
Anyone seen this before? Also she gets kick ass battery right out of the box while I struggle and tweak to get similar battery life.

Now that you mentioned this I have seen both icons. Battery life is fine and originally I thought your phone had the older icon until I went into mine this morning and I see the same one you have. I swear the last time I checked this (a week or so ago) it was the new style icon??? I did just unroot/relock the phone for a possible RMA yesterday...I wouldn't think that had anything to do with it though....

At first I thought it was because I had Google now on but even I turned mine off it disappeared from the battery chart but eventually came back with the Google play services icon.
Strange indeed.

If I remember right, these are separate services. Google Play services has to do with Google Play, meaning checking for app updates, activity in the Google Play app itself, etc. Google Services deals with the "Google Services Framework" service, which includes Gmail, Hangouts, etc.
Of course, Google changes things all the time, so who knows.

i clicked on each one. both listed the same services underneath it
GOOGLE CONTACTS SYNC
GOOGLE BACKUP TRANSPORT
GOOGLE SERVICES FRAMEWORK
GOOGLE PLAY SERVICES
GOOGLE ACCOUNT MANAGER
Oh... that is weird then. Maybe some services trigger one or the other term in the battery meter, and it simply depends which one spoke up first (or last). Sounds like Google is merging everything into Play services, and simply haven't updated all the other services yet.
I tried running my phone without GApps but very quickly realised that I needed access to Google Play.
There are ways to download apks from the Play store without an account but then you never get any updates.
I am not philosophically opposed to the Google services but I am trying to reduce the number of background apps running.
Is there a way to freeze and only turn on Google Play services when opening the Play store and once a week to check for updates?
If your phone is rooted go for "greenify" i guess.
That helped my search.
I found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2552570

Hey guys,
I have a question about google assistant. My LG Zero meets all the requirements for google assistant and it is up to date. I've tried everything, signing up for google beta and google services beta, and then cleaning all the google and google services data, restarting my phone, setting language to english US and UK ( neither worked ), I even went deeper with the apps that allow you to open extra google processes, but i was never able to get it, it still shows that stupid help menu when i hold down the home button. I have android 6.0 and google version higher than 6.13, google and google services are both up to date. Could someone help me please? I really want to get that google assistant because i want to connect it to my Jbl charge 3 speaker for some awesome features.
Thank you for your time,
Best regards, Maks
If you have a Huawei Nova 2s and you havent tried one of the steps i did then give it a go! Let me know how your situation is and if you hav done anything i havent
I got the Huawei Nova 2s in China Last December, not realising it would be China Exclusive at the time. As soon as i left China, I searched it up immedietly but couldnt find anything on this model so i just followed other articles and threads and stuff. I ended up installing the following:
Google play store, Google play services, Google play services for instant apps, Google Accounts manager, Google Services Franeworks (and a GMS with a GMS installer before all those idk if that made any difference other than adding a Google tab in settings but that had nothing important).
After doing so i could FINALLY open google play store..
BUT
it was stuck on a checking info loop T^T
then i decided to go on google and just search to the latest versions of the things i downloaded. apparrently all the websites i used provided doenloads that werent the latest version so i deleted all of them and installed the updated apks.
after doing so i got something i thought i would nev get....
A notification from google play services telling me to update it in the play store. So i clicked on it and waited on play store...
And then...
It happened...
IT WORKED
I COULDNT BELEIVE IT
i downloaded all the apps that u would need ( youtube i downloaded from an apk ;P but i updated it on the play store and i logged in on youtube which logged me in on play store)
*BUT*
After a week or so it stopped working again.
I went on youtube an it wouldnt load.
I went on the play store and it wouldnt load
I went on google chrome an it wouldnt load
I was so sad and i did the stupid thing of deleting everything and reinstalling it
now every 2-4 seconds i get a notification from play services
and you might be thinking "But i thought u said that was good!"
It was when it worked.
I clicked on it the first time after reinstalling and google play store wouldnt load so I just gave up.
but like i said i recieve notifications every 2-4 seconds. It was really annoying and eventually i just blocked it from sending notifications.
I think the problem with why it didn't work again was because if you go to:
Settings then "User & Accounts"
I have a tab that says "Google"
and when i click on it it has the accounts i logged in on.
The reason why I think this is a problem is because it is already logged in and the app wants me to log in.
I have tried to remove the accounts but it didn't work for some reason.
(BTW i installed all the different things after reading MANY posts and articles and stuff, Google accounts manager being the last one i installed i think.)
Also keep in mind that this was all in the period of January and February.
Eventually i just gave up.
